Radon Gas Mitigation Photo Album: Homeowner Worried about the Levels of Radon Found within their Home in Longview, AB
This homeowner in Longview, Alberta contacted us concerned about high levels of Radon Gas found in the home. Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that has become the second-leading cause of lung cancer, second only to cigarette smoke. Most soils contain uranium that, over time, decays to produce radium and polonium. Eventually, polonium is released with the radon, which creates a high toxicity level in the air and water that it infuses. In search of the best solution to address their concern, and protect their health & home, they homeowners contacted the experts at Doug Lacey's Basement Systems.
A System Design Specialist was able to visit the homeowner, assess the situation, and provide the homeowners with a FREE, no obligation quote designed specific to address all of their concerns. From there our Radon Mitigation Specialist was able to install a sub-slab Radon Gas Mitigation System. The system was tied into the homeowner's existing sump system by replacing their sump basin lid with one of our own. This mitigation system draws the gas from beneath the basement floor slab and vents it outside of the home. This homeowner can now rest easy knowing that their home is being protected by their new Radon mitigation system.
Homeowner's Existing Sump System
Here is a view of the homeowner's existing sump system that the Radon Mitigation System is tied into. The existing sump system allows us to directly tie the Radon Mitigation Fan into it without having to core an extra hole.
Radon Mitigation System
Here is a look at the newly installed Radon Mitigation System. The existing sump lid was replaced with one of our air tight lids. The lid needs to be air tight so that the Radon fan can draw the air from underneath the basement slab.

Here is a view of where the Radon gas will be redirected outside of the home. Once the Radon gas exits the home it becomes diluted with the outside air.
